Anthony prosecutor representing son on DUI charge

ORLANDO, Fla. 
An attorney who prosecuted Casey Anthony is back in a courtroom in central Florida - only this time he is standing in as defense counsel, for his son.

Jeff Ashton, who retired after Anthony was cleared of killing her 2-year-old daughter, is representing his 21-year-old son, Alexander Ashton, on DUI charges. A jury was selected Monday. The Seminole County trial is set to begin Thursday.

The Orlando Sentinel (
